I love eyeliner! As a teenager I think my first “proper” makeup purchase {lip gloss does not count} was a blue – yes blue eyeliner. Who knew that coloured eyeliner would be all the rage again!
Now days my go-to eyeliner is usually a black liquid liner, in fact my all time favourite liquid liner is the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner.
At a recent Maybelline Event we received a range of the Maybelline Master Kajal Kohl Liners. I must admit I was immediately intrigued by the rather unusual shape of the liners!
The unique cone-shaped Kajal liner is infused with oriental oils and highly concentrated colour pigments. For those of you who do not know, kajal is actually a black powder used in South Asia as a cosmetic, either around the eyes or as a mark on the forehead.
The Master Kajal liners are available in three colours: Pitch Black, Lapis Blue and Oriental Gold. The idea with the Kajal liners are to use them sideways, using the cone-shaped tip to define the eye. You do do not have to sharpen the liner but would need to use it sideways to keep the tip sharp. It can also be used to line your waterline. I have never really been big on using liner in my waterline, as I have such sensitive eyes and end up looking like I have been crying for days or gone ten rounds in a boxing ring.
So my thoughts on these liners! I have only tried the Pitch Black and Oriental Gold liner. Pitch Black applies smoothly but I did find it smudges quite easily and does not give me as much definition, as a liquid liner does. I have probably used Oriental Gold the most out of the two and even used it in my waterline, it is quite glittery, so perhaps better suited for evening. I did find Oriental Gold a bit harder to apply on my upper lid and not quite as smooth as Pitch Black.
Overall I think these liners do what they say they will do, which is to create a more seductive intense look. They are not waterproof and tend to smudge but this makes them much easier to blend and create a smokey eye.
